Many teams will show up to regionals with nothing more than a drive train and some hooks that don't work/fail/never get deployed.
That's why I said for a team's first regional you should plan to have the absolute best shooter you can have and get your drivers as much experience as you can using it and then go for a 10pt hang. Then for the 2nd regional you have more practice and refinement in shooting/feeding and then plan for a 20pt hang. Then, if possible, go to championships with the perfected version of your shooter/feeder and the best driver your team can muster and, possibly, a 30pt hang or a perfected/super fast 20pt hang.
